Hi there. I'm using wp 3.3.2 and Atahualpa 3.6.1. When I logged on to my site today, the first thing I did was publish some sub pages and they showed up fine. Then I changed the menus color, background color, and location a few times. That's all I've done, but now the sub menus won't show up.

I made my own pages and category menus through Atahualpa. I've gone back into the menu 1/menu 2 tabs to see what I could have changed that would make the sub menus invisible, but I can't find anything. I deleted all my sub pages and then just re-created one as a test, but it's not working. I've also read through the posts of those who have had a similar problem, but none of the solutions help me.

My website is http://route66ministries.com/. The Old Testament link should have a sub menu "Genesis" beneath it.

Thanks. I've been trying to figure out the problem for about 2 hours.

I made my own pages and category menus through Atahualpa

what do you mean by this? are you saying you did not use the %pages nad %cats option in the 'Configure Header Area' option and built your own menu using HTML?

Sorry, I just meant I think I used Atahualpa menus and not a custom wordpress. I went under Appearance / Menus and renamed the Pages and Category menus. Then I added new pages, published them, and assigned them under the parent pages.

Why not just use the WordPress menu builder. Here is a link to the codex in case you don't know how to use it. It's pretty intuitive though. Just go to Appearance>Menus and start building. Then assign the menu to Main Menu or Cat Menu depending on whether you used %pages or %cats.

Because that looks like a lot of work and right now I'd rather have it work the easy way if someone could help me figure out why the sub menus were working fine but now they're not. Is there some glitch in Atahualpa that makes you suggest doing menus in wordpress?

Either way works when I try it. Sub-pages show as sub-menu items and sub-categories show as sub-category items. Also make sure you don't have a menu assigned in Appearance>Menus if you are using the native Atahualpa menu system.

Can you explain this a bit more please?

This means you are using the WordPress Custom menus. dashboard->appearances->menus is a wordpress feature not a theme feature. The theme adds the section in the upper left of the called 'Theme Locations'. Atahualpa adds two locations menu1 and menu2. Menu1 goes where you use %pages nad menu2 is %cats.

Once you use the WordPress custom menu, when you add a new page to the site, you must MANUALLY update your menus. and remember to mane subpages you drag the menu under and to the right of the parent menu

Ok, I'm confused now. If that's the case, nothing explains why my sub menus worked when I first did it.

Secondly, I don't quite understand the theme menu versus wordpress. On the menu page, it said my theme supports two menus. Then I just dragged my pages to either menu 1 or menu 2, which I had renamed.

Also unclear what you mean that I have to update manually each time I add a page.

Thanks

Here is a screenshot of a menu with sub-menus. Maybe this will help.

I just updated with proper screenshot.
